1-Year Celebration

"Wow, can you believe that it's been 1 year already?" Regina said as she flopped down on the couch. "One year of hanging around with this hottie."

"Regina, it's been, like, maybe a week," Maria said as Regina put her arm around her.

"Eh, it feels like a year." Regina chuckled as she leaned and kissed Maria on the cheek. "Lots of other ladies, like Sam and Alexi, and a couple dudes, like Peter and Michael."

"Uh, what are you talking about, Regina?" Maria asked as she looked over at her.

"Eh, don't worry about. Reality Ring and being trapped for centuries kind of stuff," Regina said, waving her hand in the air dismissively. "We even got featured within a month of us coming out and telling everyone about our story."

Maria rolled her eyes a little. "Well, I guess time does work differently for you," Maria said as she kissed Regina on the forehead. "And I can't expect you to keep the details straight about every Ringmaster you've ever had."

"Those ladies sure weren't straight after I was done with them." Maria chuckled at Regina and leaned her head on Regina's shoulder. "You know, all this experience, and I have no idea what's going to happen in the future."

"Well, whatever happens, I'm glad that we have our time together," Maria said as she cuddled in closer with Regina. "And we've met a lot of wonderful people."

"Yes we have." Regina put her arm a little lower on Maria's waist. "And I got to meet and experience what it's like having a bunch of amazing and talent authors tell the stories involving the great and amazingly humble Regina and her various Ringmasters."

Maria chuckled softly. "Still no idea what you're talking about." She gently closed her eyes and rested.

Regina smiled at her. "Don't worry."

Regina then turned her head toward you, the person reading this.

"Hey, so, I wanted to say thanks for all the support and kind messages and comments, not to mention the likes and favorites, that you have all shown us over this year. It's been a wonderful and amazing time, and we have plenty more stories and chapters to tell, so you better stayed tuned! Things are gonna keep getting sexy and plenty more romance with a touch of mystery to come! Once again, thank you all so much! Your support means more to us than you know! Feel free to leave a comment about what was your favorite part so far, if you want to!"

Maria gently stirred in her sleep. "Alright, Maria. Let's get you to bed," Regina said as she lifted her up. "We've got more stories to tell, so be sure to stay tuned!"
